The Lost Ancients: Dragon's Blood #1
The Seeker's Chest
The mayhem returns!
Taryn, her drunken faeries, and most of her friends, survived the fight for the relics left behind by the missing people known as the Ancients. Now a new adventure awaits as they find there are deeper, older dangers loose in the world.
Taryn just wants to have a normal life, hopefully with the love of her life and her crazed drunken faeries.
Sadly, hoping doesn’t always make it so.
There are dangers moving up from the south, a kingdom far removed from Beccia and all Taryn knows. Hidden messages, killer jewelry, and possessed weapons are all invading her dreams of normalcy.
Too many people know who she really is. And they know how to use her as a weapon.
Taryn and her friends have to figure out the clues as friends start vanishing.
And the faeries really had nothing to do with it.
Really.

About the author
Marie Andreas
51 books251 followersMarie is a fantasy and science fiction reader with a serious writing addiction, and a few awards to go with it. If she wasn't writing about all the people in her head, she'd be lurking about coffee shops annoying total strangers with her stories. So really, writing is a way of saving the masses. Her fantasy series, The Lost Ancients, starts with The Glass Gargoyle. The entire six book, Lost Ancient series is complete for binge time!
There is also a completed space opera trilogy, with Warrior Wench, Victorious Dead, and Defiant Ruin. Vas and her crew of mercs launched a new series with Traitor's Folly which is also now complete.
A Curious Invasion-- a steampunk-is out and has two more books out as well. Vampires, mermaids, pharaohs, and TEA!
Essence of Chaos is the first book in a completed epic fantasy trilogy.
The Girl with the Iron Wing is a thriller/Urban Fantasy, and the first book in the Broken Veils series. The trilogy is now completed.
A trio of sisters is represented facing their biggest challenges in the Magic & Sorcery Chronicles--a clean romantasy trilogy.
A new paranormal cozy mystery fantasy series launches with Mischief in a Bottle.
More new books, series, and adventures coming in 2026!
When not saving the masses from coffee shop shenanigans, Marie likes to visit the UK and keeps hoping someone will give her a nice summer home in the Forest of Dean or northern Wales.

Yes! The saga continues
I'm so happy there are more stories for Taryn, Alric, the fairies and the rest of the gang. I love this author! Creative landscape, the world, the humor, banter, and the infamous antics between the group. The emotions, "feels," so well written. I cannot wait for the next book. The way 2020 has been fall of 2021 doesn't seem that far off.

The Seeker's Chest- interesting sequel to The Losr Ancients series
Interesting but some typos and grammatical errors. Used far instead of for. AS IN: not fully paid far instead of not fully paid for. Little errors but annoying and distracting. Lots of adventure, full of mayhem and mishaps.
On to book 2 in this series.

Exceptional
Thoroughly enjoyed the faeries, cats, dragons. Real emotions felt. Keeps impressing me with character development. Can't stop now. Buy the next anything by Marie Andreas you'll be glad you did.

What a great start to the series.
This book takes up where the last book of the other series ended. The characters are wonderful. The world building is fantastic. The plot is twisty. I can't wait to read the next book

So we start again
War kittahs at the ready. The first in a followup series and I'm enjoying this like I did the previous series.
I look forward to seeing how things progress.

Great start to next series
We get more of the familiar characters from the first part of the series. But this time we have a different villain, and a different part of the world. Enjoyable, with lots of action. Highly recommended.
